How to Use AUWith
A first-time user guide to AUWith covering sign-up, core features, posting and trading, notifications and profile, and founding member badges, all in one page.
1. Sign-up and onboarding
Sign up, set your region and language, and AUWith starts surfacing content tailored to you. The flow is designed to be done in under a minute.
Sign-up methods
- Email — register with email and password, activate via verification link.
- Google OAuth — instant sign-up with a Google account, no separate password needed.
- Apple Sign In — instant sign-up with an Apple account, convenient for iOS users.
Setting your region
Choose your state (NSW, VIC, QLD, etc.) right after signing up. Boards and content for the chosen region appear first, and you can change it anytime in your profile.
Language settings
Choose from Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Spanish and French — 7 languages. Switch from the language selector in the top right; URLs are also split per language.
2. Explore core features
AUWith bundles seven core features that you need for settling in Australia. Each feature is auto-filtered by your region.

1:1 messaging trade
If you are interested in a listing, start a 1:1 chat from the 'Send Message' button on the post. We recommend meeting in person to inspect the item before payment.

Deep Dive: From Account Recovery to Multilingual Communities, Premium and Mobile
Once you've got the hang of signing up and the basics, it's worth going a level deeper: what to do when something goes wrong with your account, the rules around managing what you've posted, how the five-language community structure works, and the paid features and trust systems. Everything below is based on how the site actually behaves.
Account Security & Recovery
Resetting Your Password (Forgot Password)
Enter the email you signed up with under 'Forgot Password' on the login screen and a reset link will be sent to you. You'll need to pass the Cloudflare Turnstile check (it keeps the bots out), and for security the reset link is only valid for 30 minutes. If it's expired, just request a new one from the start.
When the Reset Email Doesn't Arrive (Email Not Received)
First check your spam folder and promotions tab, and double-check the email address for typos. By design, the site shows 'email sent' even if the address isn't registered (so it never reveals whether an account exists), so if nothing turns up, the first thing to verify is that you're using the address you actually signed up with. Requesting too many resets in a short window can trigger a temporary limit, so leave a few minutes between attempts.
Login Trouble with Google/Apple Accounts (OAuth Account)
Accounts created via the Google or Apple buttons don't have a password at all. That means typing the same email into the email + password fields won't log you in, and a password reset email won't fix it either. The answer is to log in with the same OAuth button you originally signed up with — a classic mistake is signing up with Google and then repeatedly trying 'Forgot Password'.
